Hi everyone
Good news re Mr LW
Still waving CY - hope today goes well.
Brill news Dancemum - congrats to your DS
Just back from a - sssh!! 5 hour shift at ch shop! Don't tell DH. I am starting to plan a big event -so excited.
Off to have another coffee and some fruit and then I need to get on here. Bad news is DS not coming home for Bank Holiday weekend as he's doing overtime. I said I'd pay him if he came home!- but think he wants to show willing. He seems to do most B Hols though!
Hope everyone's Ok?

Wm is on
Ds1's uni place has been confirmed. Exciting times. Thank you for the good luck vibes x
He got distinction *, A*, B, C
Yaay danceboy
Kitchen tidied and kids taken out for morning, been to a garden centre that has a new play area in the back with a little beach - DS spent a good 90 minutes digging channels to divert water through :A we all had a nice morning.
Stopped at @ldi on the way home for some fridgy bits. All set for tomorrow when I'm looking after the neighbours kids. I was sort of hoping she'd made other arrangements, although it is DS friend, he can be a tad selfish and greedy. Still. It's only one day... His sister is lovely. and its only till about half past 3.
This afternoon I'm going to do a spot of reading :TBossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0 -
CY hope today goes well and not too out of sorts afterwards x
I'm bitting and bobbing today as I can't concentrate. A bit of shreading done and some paperwork sorting. Took clever clogs and ds2 to my see my parents and they had gone out. Had get him to ring them later with his results. They are proud too.
His starter pack arrived in today's post so he is busy with that. I hope there is some studying going to be fitted in between partying.
We are celebrating with pizza delivery this evening. It is difficult to eat out as ds2 is anaphylactic to nuts and has severe eating phobias.
It looks like we are going to be shopping for a laptop present soon. I suppose he needs to have one to take with him.0 -
Everything off the list has been done. DH did help with the hoovering, eventually. I've only got to cook the meal for our friends now - they go to SW too, so I'm doing 3 courses from the SW recipe books (none of which I've ever done before). Easy peasy, though
In case I forget later, good luck to dancemum's DS1 and any other Flykids waiting for results tomorrow.
Do you find that you spend a lot on SW stuff when you're doing it? I always found when I was doing WW that we ended up spending lots on books, branded food etc (and I didn't even go to weigh-ins so didn't have that expense).
Ps...
Glad to hear the good news about Mr. LW
CY - hope your treatment isn't making you feel too crummy *waving back from over here*!
Dancemum - well done to your DS!! Glad he's sorted and got what he wanted/neededEvery act of kindness, no matter how small, isn’t wasted ❤️

It is pouring here. Back from the shops and half the shopping has been put away, just having a cuppa and then I'll get that finished. Also need to hoover downstairs, put ironing board away, clean the shower room. Just need to find my GUAG.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0

Afternoon! We had thunderstorms here this morning and torrential rain - last week I was in 30-35 degrees sunshine and am not impressed with summer here!!
I am still working my way through mount washmore, hindered by the weather, but have not achieved much more aside from boring mum and then dad with holiday tales and photos!!
LW - so pleased to hear Mr LW's news :j
CY - continued thoughts and prayers for you; you are quite inspirational with your positive attitude xx
dancemum - congrats to DS :T
pigpen - so good to see you posting again; love the ring and the dress x
